Converging Lens Focal length of a converging lens is real and considered positive.
Diverging Lens Focal length of a diverging lens is virtual and considered negative.
Sign Conventions Focal length:f is (+) for a converging lens. f is (–) for a diverging lens. Object & Image distances: Real (+), virtual (– ). Magnification:m is (+) for an image that is upright with respect to the object. m is (–) for an image that is inverted with respect to the object.
P44, P814 A diverging lens has a focal length of –32 cm. An object is placed 19 cm in front of this lens. Calculate (a) the image distance and (b) the magnification(c) Is the image real or virtual?(d) Is the image upright or inverted?(e) Is the image enlarged or reduced in size?(f) Draw a ray diagram.
P45, P814 An object is located 9.0 cm in front of a converging lens (f = 6.0 cm). Using an accurately drawn ray diagram, determine where the image is located. Calculate the image properties using the lens-equation and magnification equation.
